## Abstract Proteoglycan aggregates isolated from normal bovine knee cartilage were larger than those from osteoarthritic cartilage of the same joints and appeared relatively more resistant to digestion with leech hyaluronidase. Incubation of proteoglycan subunits from the arthritic cartilage with
## Abstract Aging of articular cartilage results in accumulation of aggrecan fragments of various sizes that retain their ability to aggregate even though they may have relatively few glycosaminoglycan chains. Residual binding of partially degraded aggrecan may prevent binding of newly synthesized
Objective. To determine whether patients with osteoarthritis (OA) express cellular immunity to cartilage link protein (LP) and the G1 globular domain of proteoglycan (PG) aggrecan, and whether immunity to the G1 domain is influenced by the removal of keratan sulfate (KS). Methods. LP and the G1 glo
